Luminous X sign glows on roof of Twitter building in San Francisco

A giant X sign has been installed on top of the Twitter building in San Francisco.

San Francisco officials have launched an investigation into the X sign, as city officials say replacing letters or symbols on buildings, or putting a sign on top of one, requires a permit.
